Describe the temperature of the currents that flow away from the equator and explain why they are this way?
Heating by the sun near the equator makes the water there warm. In the polar regions, the water is cold. Cold water weighs more than warm and as a result, the warm waters of the equator drift toward the poles. The cold wear from the poles then flows toward the equator to replace the warm water that is leaving.
